Overview

This waterfront property on Lake Leelanau offers 203 feet of frontage across a double lot totaling 1.4 acres. The approved MDEQ building site is positioned approximately 40 feet from the lake, accessed via a gravel drive. Planning information provided with the property includes a proposed two-story home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with an attached three-car garage. The concept also featured a wrap-around porch intended for front-facing sunrise views and a back patio aimed at sunset views, designed to maximize outdoor lake living.

The land includes a wooded lowland area that provides a natural barrier to road noise. The property is located near Lake Leelanau, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, and Traverse City, supporting a lifestyle centered on local outdoor recreation.

For buyers looking to build a primary residence or seasonal retreat, the combination of lake frontage and an identified, approved building site is a clear starting point. With the property configuration already oriented around a gravel-access building area, it can simplify early planning discussions for your architect and builder while preserving direct access to the shoreline.
